There have been two embargo breaks in the last 24 hours, first Intel had to let reviewers publish the 8th Generation desktop processor details two weeks earlier because the information was out already and now, one of the top Chinese tech site, Expreview, has leaked out the entire review of the upcoming Coffee Lake flagship processor, the Core i7-8700K.

So the review tests the Intel Core i7-8700K in several scenarios against the Core i7-7700K and the Core i7-7800X. The thing to note is that the Core i7-8700K is designed for the mainstream platform but since the core count has been bumped up to 6 on the flagship, the comparison with the HEDT Core i7-7800X makes a lot of sense. Comparison with the Core i7-7700K is also worth noting as the Core i7-8700K replaces the older flagship mainstream CPU at just about the same price while being better in every possible way. Before we point out the benchmarks, lets take a look at the specs for the Core i7-8700K.
